RET System and Working Principle
RET System
Multi Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) system consists of 2 major part, electrical
tilt enabled antenna and controller.
Working Principle
MIRCU obtains control information or number of motor rotation pulse throughout
calibration. By adjusting the motor rotation of MIRCU, it is able to gain
movement control of the phase shifter in an antenna, and thus able to control
antenna electrical tilt angle. While maintaining real time communication
between
MIRCU and PCU (Portable Control Unit), PCU send control command to MIRCU;
MIRCU will return the control result to PCU, and PCU act as Human-Machines
interface.
2 Primaries Working Principle
The MIRCU-S24 module has 2 pairs of AISG ports and supports AISG3.0 protocol,
and can be controlled by 2 primaries (Base Stations) which meet AISG2.0 or
AISG3.0 protocol at the same time. The AISG ports of the module share the same
configuration information and have the same serial number.
There are 2 motors inside MIRCU-S24, which can drive 8-frequency antenna currently. In near future, with the increase complexity of antenna demand, the firmware will be updated to supported up to 20-frequency antenna, expected to be done by Q2 2021.
The 2 pairs of AISG ports have no difference on function but authority. Any
band can be assigned by AISG port no matter AISG 1 or 2, provided the band is
not yet configured by another AISG port.
The device serial numbers that can be read by ASIG2.0 base station by scanning
the MIRCU-S24 module are as follows: (default access permission)
When the device access permission for
the port is shown as “No Access”, the AISG2.0 base station will not be able to
scan the device. The access permission of the port is set by MALD
configuration command as defined in AISG3.0 protocol.
For example, the module has 8 devices and the device access permissions are
set as below:
RET | PROT1 | PORT2 |
---|---|---|
CB 01CB20C1234567-Y1 | Read & Write | No Access |
CB 02CB20C1234567-Y2 | Read & Write | No Access |
CB 03CB20C1234567-Y3 | Read & Write | No Access |
CB 04CB20C1234567-Y4 | Read & Write | No Access |
CB 05CB20C1234567-R1 | No Access | Read & Write |
CB 06CB20C1234567-R2 | No Access | Read & Write |
CB 07CB20C1234567-R3 | No Access | Read & Write |
CB 08CB20C1234567-R4 | No Access | Read & Write |
When the AISG2.0 base station is connected, port 1 can scan to
CB01CB20C1234567-Y1, CB02CB20C1234567-Y2, CB03CB20C1234567-Y3,
CB04CB20C1234567-Y4, 4 devices. Port 2 can scan to CB05CB20C1234567-R1,
CB06CB20C1234567-R2, CB07CB20C1234567-R3, CB08CB20C1234567-R4, 4 devices.
The device serial numbers that can be read by the AISG3.0 base station by
scanning the MIRCU-S24 module are as below:

MIRCU-S24 Installation Steps and Methods
a) As shown in Figure 2, “AISG OUT” logo on Antenna cover need to be aligned with MIRCU “IN” and “OUT”, then insert MIRCU into antenna mounting slot.
b) As shown in Figure 3, tighten screws on MIRCU using a slotted type screwdriver. c) As shown in Figure 4, connect the control cable to the AISG Connector locate at the lower part of the MIRCU and tighten the connector.
d) If there is more than one MIRCU need to be connect, daisy-chained cascade method can be used as show in Figure 5. Figure 5 Multiple MIRCU Daisy-Chain Cascade Schematic Diagram
**Note: The control cables and MIRCU connectors at both ends were Male and Female connector. MIRCU male connector used to receive Input Signal and connect with female connector of control cables; MIRCU female connector used to transmit output signal and cascade in series to another MIRCU using male cable connector. Control cables from PCU only can be connect to the male connector of MIRCU.
e) Water proof: Firstly, wrap 3 layers of waterproof tape, then wrap 3 layers of insulating tape, fastened with cable ties at both ends.
Connection between MIRCU, PCU and Antenna System
Connection between MIRCU, PCU and antenna system connections are shown in
Figure 6. There are 3 connections, namely:
Figure 6(a): MIRCU directly connected with the PCU via the control cable;
Figure 6(b): MIRCU connected with antenna system terminal SBT (Smart
Bias-T), PCU and the base station apparatus connected to the end of SBT, the
control signal transmitted thru the RF feeder.
Figure 6(c): MIRCU connected with AISG interface enable TMA, PCU and the
base station apparatus connected to the end of SBT, the control signal
transmitted thru the RF feeder. Mapping of MIRCU to
Phase Shifter
Comba existing MIRCU can satisfy 1 to 8 RET phase shifter control, and will be
upgraded to support up to 20 phase shifter control in near future through
firmware upgrade, expected to be done by Q2 2021. All control and driver chip
are integrated into a single MIRCU module. The relative specifications are as
shown in Table 2.

Table 2 MIRCU in relation to Antenna Suitability
Comba MIRCU product, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, employ the usage of socket, so as to realize the plug-and-play function whereby the MIRCU can be easily installed or uninstalled. It greatly enhances the reliability of the product in term of connection and utilization. Also, the maintenance is greatly simplified. Each Driver Unit/Motor comes with their own serial number. For Figure 9 below, 8 set of serial numbers will be displayed on PCU when connected. MIRCU Control Cable, Lightning Protection and Grounding cables
Control cable, Lightning Protection and Grounding requirements
MIRCU control cable can connect through SBT or TMA (as shown in Figure 6 (b), (c)), normally control cable will be short and not more than 2m, lighting protection and grounding will be implemented along the RF feeder and hence it is not necessary for control cable to carry out lightning Protection and grounding again.
However, if MIRCU and control cable are connected as Figure 6 (a), whereby control cable connect to RCU directly, then it is necessary for the cable control to proceed with Lightning Protection and Ground requirement. Details as follows:
- a) Control cables that connect to base station antenna should be within the scope of protection of the air terminals. Air terminals shall establish special lightning current deflectors, materials suitable are 4mm x 40 mm galvanized flat steel.
- b) Control cables metal sheath should be clamp to grounding kit within 1m of antenna, 1m within the cable tray at the bottom of the tower, and 1m before entering base station shelter. Make sure grounding cable is installed property, feeder window of the shelter room should be close to the ground and properly connect to the grounding bar that leads to the ground. (See Figure 10)
c) Control cables metal sheath attach to grounding kit as shown in Figure 11.
Grounding Kit Installation Procedure
- a) Prepare ground kit, as shown in Figure 12 1a.
- b) Clean the plastic sheath of the control cables, cutting plastic sheath with a suitable stripper tool, expose metal braid sheath of control cable, with length about 22mm, as shown in the Figure 12 1b.
- c) Remove the protection sheet on the ground kit, clamping the grounding kit around the control cable, and align with striped line as shown in Figure 13
- d) Tighten the screws of the grounding kit, as show in Figure 14.
- e) Connect and tighten grounding cable on the grounding bar which locate at bottom of the tower.
**Note: The control cables should be in upright position while clamping with grounding kit.
